URGENT! Major problem with ASP.NET
&nbsp(116 Views)
We have just run into a great deal of trouble attempting to get ASP.NET (v1.1.4322) running .NET apps on our Win 2003 Server. No matter what we have tried to do we keep getting the message:"Server cannot access application directory"The exact message is detailed here:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspxscid=kb;en-us...Know, we have tried:i) Setting, resetting, checking, rechecking the permissions for the \ASPNET user. seems to be working fine.ii) Reconfiguring the ASPNET mappings using the aspnet_regiis.exe program.iii) Removed Sharepoint (I had read that this can make a mess of ASP.NET)iv) Used owsadm from the web server extension folder of common files.Does anyone have any ideas as to how we can fix this, preferably without having to mess around with IIS too much... down-time hurts :

Using DataGrid/drop down list combination...

Is is possible to have the hyperlink column on a datagrid redirect to a page based on a selection from a drop down list For example, when user clicks on hyperlink in Grid, there are 3 possibilities for redirecting to the next aspx page -- based on the user's selection from a drop down box.Also, as an aside, NetScape isn't reading the "height" of an aspx textbox so is hampering development for both Explorer and Netscape, any ideas here

Why use a OledbCommandBuilder Object?
&nbsp(151 Views)
I have been playing with a test program and am confused as to why I would use an OledbCommandBuilder object. The book says that it is handy as it looks at the SelectCommand property you give it and it creates the appropriate commands from it. But when I use it in my example, there is no difference. I end up creating an object(including the overhead involved)that doesn't seem necessary.CODESub GetAd(AdNumSent As Integer)SelectStatement = "Select * From Ads Where AdNum=" & _ AdNumSentConnectString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\simplyClassy\classydb.mdb"Connect.ConnectionString = ConnectStringAdapter.SelectCommand = _ new OleDbCommand(SelectStatement, Connect)' ClassyCB = New OleDbCommandBuilder(Adapter)Adapter.SelectCommand.Connection.OpenAdapter.Fill(ClassyDS,"Ads")End SubI can switch the comment and it will still work:CODEClassyCB = New OleDbCommandBuilder(Adapter)'Adapter.SelectCommand.Connection.OpenI don't see the use for this (at least in this context).Tom.

CreateUserWizard validation problem
&nbsp(123 Views)
I'm new to this asp.net control and decided to try and use it for creating new user accounts for a site. Its seems like a pretty cool control and I read some articles on customizing it and have customized it a little bit.My issue is this:The user goes to the site and when the page loads originally this control and most other controls have thier visible property set to false so they are all hidden. The user can then press an image button that sets the visible property of the CreateUserWizard to true, and this works great. The problem is if the user presses any other button the CreateUserWizard tries to validate the text boxes in the control instead of doing what the buttons actually are supposed to do. I even created a button that is supposed to run a sub that sets the CreateUserWizard visible property to false and that doesn't work either. If I press that button the CreateUserWizard just keeps trying to validate its text boxes.Its like its trying to validate on a postback or something. I'm new to using this control so maybe I'm not doing something right. Is there some sort of postback property on the CreateUserWizard control that i need to set to keep it from trying to validate unless I press the create user button

Improving HTML performance of DataGrids
&nbsp(292 Views)
I'm looking for ways to improve the HTML performance of ASP.NET webpages using scrollable DataGrids... The larger the datagrid, the longer it takes for the webpage to display with the grid. That blank white page displaying for a few seconds between displays of the webpages can be annoying. Supposedly if I were able to remove as much whitespace between HTML tags as possible and use as few HTML & web controls as possible, the performance should improve somewhat, so I've heard. Does anyone know of a way or DataGrid etc properties to force the HTML code auto-generated by the datagrid to do thisExample of auto-generated HTML of a datagrid: table data 1 table data 2 table data 3 table data 4 change totable data 1table data 2 table data 3table data 4 Any ideas would be appreciated - changing from a scrollable grid to a page-number grid or forcing a small amount of data to show on the datagrid are not really options that I'd want though.

Logical Tiers and DataReaders
&nbsp(92 Views)
Ok let me explain what I'm doing (or trying to do).I'm not a system architect so please forgive me if I have the concepts or terminology wrong.I have an n-tier app. It consists of the presentation layer, the business logic layer, the data access layer, and the database.In the database I'm using stored procedures. The database physically sits on a different server from everything else.I have a different assembly (the data access layer) that handles all calls to the db.The code behind files for the aspx pages contain calls to methods within the data access layer to retrieve data for display, etc.Now ... I'm passing data from the DAL in a datareader to the code behind files. Is this the best thing to do I understand that its better to use a dataset when passing data between tiers because it handles marshaling better. Is that a factor when its just logical tiers Also with inter-tier communication the whole chatty / chunky call deal doesn't really apply does it That only becomes an issue when passing data between physical tiersAm I correct or wackoPlease advise

CreateUserWizard CreatingUser Issue
&nbsp(92 Views)
. I'm using ASP.NET 2.0 and I have a page that does user registration. I've had it all working fine for a while until I noticed a couple things that it wasn't checking. It wasn't checking to see if the email entered was a real email (by format) so I had to use a regularexpression validator to do so, which went fine. The other problem though, is checking the password entered to see if it contains the username entered. Thus, I would NOT want someone to register with the following info:Username: BobbyJoePassword: BobbyJoe1 (or bobbyjoe1)So by going into the CreatingUser event, I think I've successfully been able to check for the username being in the password and I can call the e.Cancel = true part of it to stop the registration process from continuing, but I can't figure out how to throw up an error about this. I've tried using a label or something but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had any similar issues

Retrieve height of datalist when height not initially set?

I'm trying to dynamically adjust the height of a container div based on the height of a datalist it contains. However, I don't have a default height set for the datalist, the height just flexes based on how many rows are returned. I thought I could just do an body onload statement like this:onload="document.getElementById('detail_div').style.height = document.getElementById('DataList1').height;"but this doesn't return anything. If I explicitly set the height of the DataList, then it works fine. How can I find out the height of my DataList if I don't set it when its created

Programmatically selecting values in a list box
&nbsp(101 Views)
I've got a list box on a web form which, when loaded, uses data from a text field in a database to determine which values should be selected. When the user presses save, the selections from the list box should be resaved to the text field.This works fine if the user manually selects items from the list box, but if they don't make any changes and the list box shows just the selected items from the loading code then, when the user tries to resave, the selectedindex of the list box is showing as 0, even though the items are highlighted, so resave doesn't work.Here's the code:CODE'Firstly to select values from the list boxIf Not DataReader.GetValue(119) Is DBNull.Value Then 'firstly get the values Dim fullString As String = DataReader.GetValue(119) 'check if there is a comma separator in the string, if not then there's only one 'value, so use that If InStr(fullString, ",") = 0 Then Me.AdditionalEmailList.SelectedValue = fullString 'otherwise we need to get each of the values by looping through the string Else Dim charPosition As Integer Dim listName As String While fullString "" If InStr(fullString, ",") = 0 Then charPosition = fullString.Length Else charPosition = fullString.IndexOf(",") End If listName = Left(fullString, charPosition) fullString = fullString.Remove(0, charPosition) If fullString "" Then fullString = fullString.Remove(0, 1) End If 'now we have a name, make sure that name is selected Dim item As ListItem = Me.AdditionalEmailList.Items.FindByValue(listName) If Not item Is Nothing Then item.Selected = True End If End While End If End If'now to resave the selected values on the list boxDim entryString As String 'get the selected values from the list box and concatenate them into one string 'this is where I get the problem - selectedindex is 0 If Me.AdditionalEmailList.SelectedIndex 0 Then Dim li As ListItem entryString = "" For Each li In Me.AdditionalEmailList.Items If li.Selected = True Then entryString += li.Value + "," End If Next 'now remove the final comma Dim finalChar As Integer = entryString.Length entryString = entryString.Remove(finalChar - 1, 1) End I

Using Assembly src="" in .vb files
&nbsp(90 Views)
Hi ,Hopefully this is a quickie!A few of the web apps we've built are not compiled, but instead use the directive similar to:in the top of the ASPX page, which relates to a .vb file in the directory with a couple of classes in it. (more code at the bottom) Very handy for anyone making small frequent changes, however I was wondering if anyone knows how you could link two .vb files together before they're using in the aspx page. Eg, we have default.aspx, MyLib.vb and DatabaseLib.vb. I can do in the top of default.aspx so I have the classes/functions of both available in default.aspx, but can I somehow make the functions from DatabaseLib.vb available in MyLib.vb by using a similar methodI guess I could create a new instance of the class(es) in DatabaseLib.vb and pass them into the MyLib classes, but I was hoping there might be something as simple asImports "Databaselib.vb"which I could put in the top of MyLib.vb.Wow, I hope that makes sense! Bit of a long explanation, hopefully there's a shorter answer! Any help would be much appreciated

Problem with adding a reference
&nbsp(106 Views)
.I created a WebService, and a proxy class.Now for a windows application I had to add System.Web as a reference in order to consume the service.It worked, after several tries.Then I tried the same for a PocketPC type of application.I got the following error, eventhough System.Web.Services was originally added to the reference.The type 'System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Web.Services, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. I compared the solution with the windows application one. I noticed that System.Web.Services in Win App was loaded from the following location C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Services.dll.So I had to make the subsequent changes on that and on System.dll as well.But now, the PocketPC application won't work.Furthermore switching back the references to the original location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE, didn't fix the problem.Still getting this error: Deployment and/or registration failed with error: 0x8973190e.
